"The Food of Sichuan"
by Fuchsia Dunlop
The Food of Sichuan by Fuchsia Dunlop is an exquisite exploration of one of China’s most vibrant and intricate cuisines. Known for its bold, multi-layered flavors, Sichuan food is both fiery and numbing, thanks to the ubiquitous Sichuan peppercorn and the generous use of chili peppers. But beyond the heat, it’s a cuisine of depth, rich with history, tradition, and an unspoken reverence for ingredients. Dunlop, a master of Chinese cooking who spent years in Sichuan studying under local chefs, brings the flavors and culture of the region to life. She not only presents a wide array of recipes—ranging from everyday dishes to the more exotic regional specialties—but she also delves into the cultural context that shapes the food. In each chapter, Dunlop transports readers to the heart of Sichuan, introducing them to the people, the places, and the stories behind each dish.
